The first three characters (the WMI) identify the manufacturer and where the vehicle was built. Common Kia prefixes:
Kia SUVs built in South Korea
Kia passenger cars built in South Korea
Kia SUVs built in West Point, Georgia
Kia passenger cars built in West Point, Georgia
Tellurides and most Sorentos for the US are built in West Point, Georgia (5X…); Souls and Seltos come from Korea (KN…).

The most reliable spots: Driver-side dashboard, visible through the windshield; Driver-side door jamb label (also carries the paint code); Title, registration, and insurance documents. All show the same 17-character VIN — if they disagree with the title, do not buy the vehicle.
Every Telluride is assembled in West Point, Georgia and carries a 5XY prefix. The decode confirms trim and equipment — useful because Telluride trims carry meaningful price differences used.
The free decode lists open recalls for your exact VIN, and the associated campaigns — including the anti-theft software updates for affected models — with the campaign numbers a dealer needs.
